i'm john elderling, president of the taco group. quickly, josh left two things off the list that definitely many of us want to see which is affordable housing, how to do it. the most we can in the central corridor. and number two, the future -- the youth and family zone and how to improve that and make it achieve more of its stated goal. but today i wanted to ask you to look at specifically the macro economic strategy that really underlies this document, and what's wrong with it quite honestly. we believe that so far this plan really is based on bubble nomics, not sound economic planning for the city's future and the south of market part of it. a very interesting part of the document is the appendix in the back where the staff responded to our critiques that given the long-term average of only three quarters of a million square feet of office actually absorbs [speaker not understood] in the city, the 8 to 10 million square feet this plan would allow just in south of market is way too much. and the reason it's way too much is because
